What Does the Democratic Party Stand For?

[JoeB131]

It's exactly the point. She paid into them, she was entitled to the benefits.
How many Congressmen who opposed the Bush tax cuts paid in accordance with the Bush rates and how many paid according to the pre-Bush rates?
The hypocrisy charge is worn thin.

Not even close to the same thing. The point was, Ayn Rand saw welfare as protecting the weak and the useless from the forces of natural selection, good social Darwinst that she was. If no one could make a profit off of you, you need to die. That was her fucked up philosophy, no doubt being traumitized that the Bolsheviks took Daddy's house when was a child.

But at the end of the day, she got Lung Cancer, because she thought the Surgeon General's warning on Cigarettes was another communist plot, and she went to Medicare for health coverage.

The GOP stands for smaller government, lower taxes, pro business, generally socially conservative policies. Most people would agree on that even if they dont always vote that way.
What does the Democratic Party stand for? THey seem to stand for class warfare, tribal identification, and free shit.
How can they possibly hope to win with such divisive stands, and after such a record of failure?

Sounds like the GOP stands for a lot of vague, generic bullshit.

I'd appreciate it if the OP could establish some support for the claim that the GOP is actually for smaller government. Something other than just saying that they are for smaller government.

Thanks.

They are consistently identified as the party in favor of smaller government. I made that clear in the OP. But this isnt about the GOP. This is about what Dems stand for.

Identified by whom? It's not something that is true. So....what does the GOP really stand for?

Quit trolling. Go elsewhere.

You think I'm trolling your troll thread? I pointed out a fact. You insist that the reputation that the GOP has for wanting small government is valid. It isn't. Go ahead, superstar. Demonstrate that the GOP is for small government.

You're an idiot, like that's news.
This thread is about what the Democratic Party stands for. Try your hand at answering the question instead of deflecting to irrelevance.

The reality of post Citizens United America is that both political parties are pretty much working for the deep pockets.

While the Dems count on their past support for working people to gather votes they forget most of those kind of promises once in office. They need those rich guy dollars.

My analogy for the repubs and dems is;

Picture a dock with a boat floating next to it that is not tied to the dock. The dock represents the moneyed interests and the boat represents the people.

The Democrats are standing with one foot on the dock and one foot on the boat trying to maintain their balance.

The Republicans are standing with both feet firmly on the dock, peeing on the people in the boat.

I gave you the info you requested. You failed, however, to support your claim. This your thread,dummy. How about giving it a little effort.

they stand for:

the killing of ones offspring with NO RESTRICTIONS whatsoever.
Stealing the worker taxpayer monies and give it to the slugs in the country. then crow how much MORE THEY CARE about others

how noble and honorable eh?

 

[rdean]

Notice that what Republicans supposedly stand for contains none of these:

job creation
equal pay
education
health care
clean energy
civil rights

Smaller government for Republicans mean that if someone is hit by a disaster, so what. They still believe in denying rights and legislating women's bodies. Hardly the sign of "small government"

Republicans say they are pro business, but business wants immigrants, especially in Red States where Republicans are stupid, unteachable and not qualified for more than digging.
Survey GOP executives want immigrant labor not voters The Daily Caller

And socially conservative policies is a fancy name for the right to discriminate.

Think about it. You know I'm right.

job creation- they support that through capitalism
equal pay- This is just communist. Idiots support mandated equal pay.
education- I didn't know anyone was trying to make our schools worse
health care- They don't cause obamacare blows dick and they believe in freedom over being forced to buy health insurance
clean energy- They don't support dumping massive funding to recycling or clean energy sources that don't pay off
civil rights- They do. They support equal opportunity.

You laugh at equal pay for equal work but not equal opportunity? That doesn't make sense.
Republicans think the job CREATORS make jobs. That not capitalism. Capitalism is supply and demand. Republicans on the USMB don't believe in supply and demand.
Because if everyone doesn't buy it, only a few pay for it. You would have to be an idiot to not know that.

Oh, and about education:

Scott Walker Bobby Jindal Aim to Slash Higher Ed Funding - US News

JURIST - Texas judge rules education budget cuts unconstitutional

I can never understand why Republicans are so ignorant they have no clue what their party is actually doing. When they find out the truth, they just deny, deny, deny. What made them so sick mentally? They cry about honesty and their leaders are so dishonest and the GOP sheeple just follow along. I don't get it.

Have you ever read the communist manifesto? You will find the answer to,your question in there.

You're one of those slugs living off the government.

Democratic Party stands for:

-The right sized government to do what "We the People" want done
-A tax structure that provides adequate revenue and places the burden on those most able to bear it
- A balance between the interests of business and labor
- Social Programs that help those who need helping

I can buy 3 out of 4 of those points.

I have trouble with "- A balance between the interests of business and labor". The trade policies of Bill Clinton and Obama destroy that balance.

The New Democrats don't have much regard for labor.

Democrats are pushing for wage hikes, lessening the tax burden on workng Americans, healthcare, equal pay, maternity leave, collective bargaining rights

All help labor

 

[Marxist]

Both parties are there to benefit the capitalists, but one party likes to throw out scraps to the poor and working people, AKA, the democrats. The GOP is a virus as it stands, hypocritical, and sucking the cock of the wealthy.

Yes, those help. But after NAFTA accelerated our race to the bottom we lost our good paying jobs and the TPP will finish us off.

The democratic party is like that once great restaurant that still has fans even though it now serves below average food.

 

[Wildman]

Yea, I want to know what democrats stand for?

ya, me too.., i asked a liberfool demorat here a few days ago what's the difference between a "...rat" and "...ratic", needless to say, he could not answer, just gave me a bunch of snarky replies.., i still do not know the difference since the "...rats" have adopted the "...ratic" sometime in the last 50+ years, in times past they were always known as the "...RAT" party or an individual as a "...RAT".

why did they add the "...RATIC" ?????



the snark said: It's called the democratic party there chief....

Wildman asked: what's the fucking difference ?

 

[longknife]

Both parties stand for 're-election'.

Amen!

What the fuck is this bull shit? You are only trying to pull up wages of burger flippers and fucking the middle class in the process like Australia and GB

 

[longknife]

Dems want to enslave the poor through welfare checks and increase the wadge gap. They want to be poor and lazy forever and force the working class to support these slaves to the gov. They also want a world with no morals whatsoever. They want to ban religion from being spoken in public.

I think a point must be made here - the Democrats are just the front for a movement of activists to further their progressive/socialist agendas. The vast amount of people registered for voting purposes - of both parties - do so for convenience and not because of deeply held beliefs.
Most Americans almost never participate in the political process between General Elections as can be seem by local and state elections.

Therefore, while I agree generally with the above statement, we have to be careful to point out that it is not ALL Democrats but those activists whose goals these are.
